System's Super Sect Chapter 1059 - 981: Teleportation Arrays Activated in Succession (Part 1)

"Brother Jing!"

"Brother Jing!"

Kui Qing's three companions watched in utter shock as Jing Wuxing was ripped apart by Dark Stream Annihilation, only to be casually ensnared by the Black Dragon's claw. They had held onto the hope that Senior Jiang's intervention would alter the course of events and rescue the endangered Jing Wuxing, but destiny seemed immutable. This Immortal Sect, how could they be so audacious! With the Curved Realm Passage sealed, they still dared to extinguish the lives of Sky Concealing Tower's people. Their brazenness was amplified by executing Jing Wuxing right before the eyes of Sky Concealing Tower's Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses. Warriors from the Battle Division and the denizens of Mitian City were similarly silenced, their gazes fixed skyward in disbelief, hearts ablaze with a volcanic rage. Their sentiments mirrored those of Kui Qing's trio; they too were dumbfounded by the Immortal Sect's sheer nerve in dispatching a Sky Concealing Tower member within sight of their own Celestial Unrestricted experts. "Has this Immortal Sect lost its mind? To actually slay our Sky Concealing Tower's War God right under the nose of a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse from our ranks—are they not concerned Senior Jiang will obliterate them and annihilate every soul in Heaven and Earth Lake?" "Whether they fear it or not, this bloody debt demands retribution! If Heaven and Earth Lake is not purged, my fury will remain unquenched!" Fierce roars echoed through the multitude. Had they been able to join the fray, they would have torn the Immortal Sect members limb from limb. Amidst the rising tide of fury, a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse, who had narrowly evaded the Ice Dragon's grasp, declared gravely from his elevated position, "Please, everyone, calm yourselves. The Immortal Sect's current recklessness only underscores their profound desperation. Senior Jing Wuxing's demise shall not be in vain; the Immortal Sect will face a retribution a hundredfold, even a thousandfold, greater! I shall personally lead you into Heaven and Earth Lake to cleanse this day's disgrace for Sky Concealing Tower! We will avenge our fallen brethren!" Cheers and angry shouts surged like tidal waves, reverberating through the very heavens, igniting Elder Jiang's wrath until his eyebrows quivered. "Immortal Sect!" The elder known as Jiang bellowed, unleashing a searing red line of fire that streaked towards the Wood Dragon. Boom— However, upon contact with the Wood Dragon's head, the fiery projectile did not pierce the dragon's skull as the elder anticipated. Instead, the Dragon Scales absorbed the assault entirely, exploding harmlessly without leaving so much as a scratch. Emerging unscathed from the dissipating flames, the Wood Dragon lunged towards the elder, who could only stare in utter disbelief. "Unharmed?" "How is this feat possible?" "What manner of Demon Ancestor Body is this you possess!" "You are but a Demon God, yet you already wield the Demon Ancestor Body. How can this be?" Elder Jiang sputtered, utterly perplexed by a spectacle that defied his centuries of experience. Naturally, mere novelty wouldn't cause a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse to lose his composure. His shock stemmed from the fact that the Wood Dragon had utterly defied the established heavenly principles. How could one possess the Demon Ancestor Body without being a Demon Ancestor? How could a being claim the Demon Ancestor Body before ascending to the status of a Demon Ancestor? It was as preposterous as cultivating Celestial Level Vein Skills without reaching the Celestial Unrestricted realm. Legends whispered that disciples taught by Celestial Unrestricted experts could indeed cultivate Celestial Level Vein Skills even below that threshold. Yet, only true Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses grasped the fundamental impossibility of it all. For Celestial Level Vein Skills were not merely about practicing the techniques and channeling Vein Qi! "There are far greater surprises awaiting you." Wen Ping chuckled lightly at the elder, his gaze then shifting to Wan Zhi. Wan Zhi, grievously wounded by the Sword Demon, would be a shame to let live. Such a valuable asset could not be so easily discarded. Finishing Wan Zhi off before retreating—that was the opportune moment! Fortune favors the bold! "Attack again!" Wen Ping commanded anew. The Ice Dragon King, the Netherworld Black Dragon King, and Dark Stream Annihilation redirected their attention towards Kui Qing's trio. Although this appeared to target the three, their true objective had been Wan Zhi all along. "Do you truly believe I possess no means to counter you?" The elder surnamed Jiang, witnessing this, was consumed by incandescent rage. He strained his Meridian Gate, causing a violent tremor! Boom— Five Veins resonated in unison! "So what if you have the Demon Ancestor Body—you are still not the true Demon Ancestor!"

With a furious roar, the elder swiftly raised his hand, pressing it downwards with immense force.

The very world distorted with his action, and as the elder’s palm descended, an ocean of fire erupted, swallowing the surroundings. This inferno blotted out the sky above Mitian City, radiating suffocating heat and a terrifying pressure that unnerved onlookers even from great distances.

As the elder’s hand continued its descent, the vast sea of flames followed, not merely targeting the Wood Dragon and Black Dragon, but seemingly intent on engulfing the entire world.

Observing this spectacle and feeling the true might of Celestial Unrestricted, Wen Ping’s expression grew grim. He inwardly conceded that Celestial Unrestricted indeed lived up to its name; its Vein Techniques, when wielded in earnest, were undeniably overwhelming for those not yet at that same profound level.

Seeing the fiery abyss plummeting, Wen Ping abandoned any thought of lingering in Mitian City any longer. He swiftly activated the Teleportation Array without hesitation.

His Flying Ship simply could not endure such an onslaught!

Furthermore, he lacked the means to emerge unscathed from beneath this inferno.

While he might discover a way to survive through arduous trial, Wen Ping refused to gamble his life recklessly.

Fates intertwine time and again.

To confront Sky Concealing Tower, there is no need for undue haste.

Although his primary objective had been achieved, the remaining burden now fell upon Wood Dragon and the others.

BOOM—

The Teleportation Array flared to life!

A beam of pure white light shot down from the heavens, slicing through the sea of fire. It enveloped Wen Ping and his Flying Ship.

As the brilliant light faded, the Flying Ship had vanished without a trace.

Wen Ping, too, was nowhere to be found.

None within the immediate chaos of the battlefield could discern these events. However, the formidable warriors of Sky Concealing Tower, observing from afar, witnessed everything with perfect clarity.

Nevertheless, their astonishment was ultimately in vain, for Wen Ping now stood safely within the Immortal Sect.

He had initially intended to bring the Sword Demon back with him. However, the Sword Demon declined, stating his desire to deliver one final, decisive blow.

Wen Ping let out a soft chuckle at this, divining the Sword Demon's true intentions. He chose not to press the issue or rush to teleport the Sword Demon back to the sect.

The Sword Demon was, unquestionably, a berserker.

This particular trait was something Wen Ping was well aware of.

Moreover, Wen Ping had long understood that the Sword Demon harbored a deep-seated desire to clash with powerhouses at the Celestial Unrestricted level.

Now that a Celestial Unrestricted expert from Sky Concealing Tower stood directly before him, how could the Sword Demon possibly relinquish such a coveted opportunity?

Having departed from the Teleportation Array, Wen Ping immediately made his way to the Knowledge Tower. He began observing the unfolding situation in Mitian City via the projected image transmitted by his Black Shadow.

The sea of fire had fully descended.

Wood Dragon, positioned at the vanguard, realized the futility of escaping the fiery deluge. It met the elder’s attack head-on with its solidified Dragon Body. Yet, even with its Demon Ancestor Body, Wood Dragon was relentlessly forced downwards, crushed by the overwhelming might of the fire sea's descent.
